This is the historical Google line and a pretty fair one at that. Those of us that are extremely savvy enough to use ad blockers everywhere are also rather cognizant of where ads appear and usually consciously ignore the ads. Most average users won't find the ads so objectionable as to warrant blocking them or dealing with the hassle of installing extensions.
Firefox has over 90M active daily users. The Adblock Plus plugin is by far the biggest and most compelling Ad Blocker - it has 11M active daily users right now. Google seems willing to live with this 12% opt-out in effect. I suspect of those 12% of users, most of those wouldn't click ads anyways, so it's not a big deal in the end.
